    I tried Exceed, did you see my post(s)? If not, cliff notes version - nice if you don't drive with it all the way open very often, very water tight, a little heavier than most other folders. I've had the MX4 on a different truck as well; even with it's flaws, Exceed hands down if I was purchasing one of those two again.

    They don't have the 6.5 foot bed cover though.

    I bought a ‘21 last week with a cover. It’s missing 1 hold down in the middle. Cover isn’t going anywhere but would love to get the part missing. Can anyone identify the manufacturer of this? Been looking and I can’t find it.

    I am not familiar with the brand but from the photo of the clamp it looks like it may be a Kikito https://www.amazon.com/KIKITO-Professional-Tri-Fold-Tonneau-2007-2015/dp/B08CK4LF8T

    You are correct and I’m an idiot. Been searching for hours and you come up with it in minutes. Thanks Santana

    So I realized yesterday that my rail for the Weathertech cover might be missing a "tab" that helps lock in the middle of the cover. I email them with pictures explaining the situation. They are sending the parts that were missing which is good, but wont be in for over a week. Then told I shouldn't drive with the cover on until then. Glad I just drove 11 hours this past weekend with it. Not loving the quality control from Weathertech right now. They are actually just Agri-Cover and branding as Weathertech.

    Update : The shims are too soft and with them on the seal lifts and the tailgate won’t close. Basically the revolver cover is too narrow for the truck, I am returning it after having wasted many hours.

    @SantanaRealtruck or anyone else that may know these answers. For the Bakflip MX4 do you need the bulkhead seal? I see a video where its installed but the instructions say if you have a drop in bed liner you don't need it and the 2022 Tundra comes with a bed liner already in it. Also is there anything special that needs to be done for trucks with the electrical outlet in the bed, or does everything install the same as is? I just ask cause I think I saw a drawing somewhere on this site that differentiated between the two? Thanks in advance,

    I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Peragon cover, but not really getting any information from them as to potentially timelines, which is frustrating. It seems like pretty much all of the covers have some sort of major flaw. If I'm going to spend around $1000 I want something that works, not just "kinda" works.

    Send an email to sales@peragon.com. I got a quick reply from them. They said their cover is close to being released and they have a list that they will reach out to prior to public release. Hope this helps.

    Great questions! Starting with the bulkhead seal, you are correct. The bulkhead, or front of the truck bed, is typically lower then the side bed rails. This is exacerbated with plastic bed rail caps, which only deepen the gap. The bulkhead seal is designed to fill this gap and help improve water resistance. If the bulkhead and bed rails are flat, which is common on composite beds, installing the bulkhead seal can actually create gaps and result in increased leakage.
    For the BAK line of covers, the outlet will not pose an issue. Install as normal.

    Peragon covers have a major flaw in my opinion.
    In order to open them, you have to push the front panels down into the bed, and then same with subsequent panels until the whole thing is retracted.
    How do you do that if your bed is loaded?

    Looking at the MX4, price seems in alignment with all other resellers and the local Toyota Parts shop.
    Thanks anyway.

    Does this cover mount to the holes that the track would mount to? Does the rail mount below this on the brackets? Do you have any pictures of the mounting system? They don't seem to have any special instructions related to Toytoas with the rail system. Thanks.

    OK. Sorry about the last post I had not seen this video yet. Do these direct mount brackets of the first video come with the cover? I am looking for a direct bolt on cover. I had a clamp-on style cover come off of my truck in the past when the clamps came loose.

    Thanks.

    Whoa there's a lot of information and opinions in this thread. There are brands I never knew existed. After looking around and reading until my head hurts I think I will go with the MX4. I just saw the OEM and MX4 side by side on two managers TRD PROs at my local dealership. Someone on here said the OEM is made by BAKFlip. They are very similar but I did notice that the OEM cover's top seal just ends at the tailgate while the MX4 actually has an end cap that covers the end of the seal. Also the seal along the length of the OEM cover had some wrinkles while the MX4 laid perfectly flat. That along with the price difference for OEM says the MX4 is the better choice of the two. No way I'm paying the dealer $1800 for a cover I can get and install while saving $800. Just my 2 cents.

    Having just watched the MX4 install video for the 2022 Tundra on the Real Truck web site I think I will go with the MX4 as well. It will be an hour or so of fun to install and a sense of ownership/accomplishment too.

    Personally there is no satisfaction greater than looking back at an install that I did with my own two hands. Additionally, I justify the hit to my wallet by calculating the amount of money I saved by doing the work myself. Sorry, I'm a mathematician so I am always calculating something. The only part of the installation of the MX4 I am not totally comfortable with is drilling the drain line holes in the bed.

    So naturally, I ordered a Lomax from @SantanaRealtruck and then the Peragon went live today. They snoozed they lose. Anyways, if anyone didn't get the email from Peragon and were looking at one, let me know and I'll send you the link.

    I've had it installed for almost 3 weeks now and so far so good. I don't have any complaints.

    I agree about the sense of accompishment and making it our own. I believe there is no need to drill holes in the bed as I thought they are already there? The video doesn't say anything about that.

    I am trying to install the OEM bedcover but wallowed out two bolts trying to remove the cleat rails. Tried a couple of things and can't remove them (one each side). Any good suggestions?

    Sounds like you need a screw extractor like this one.

    You can get them at Harbor Freight or Amazon.

    Bought and tried. Didn't work. I'll do some more research to find some other options. Thanks

    A lot. See my channel for all installs/mods!
    I have the Retrax PowerTraxOne MX electric on my Pro, no complaints whatsoever…this is the 4th Tundra I had an electric Retrax cover on and loved everyone of them…highly recommend them, install is pretty straight forward…biggest thing is getting it lined up and level, I have no water intrusion at all other than an extremely minor amount at side of tailgate seals…and it literally has to pour for me to even get a slight leak in that area…I’m going to seal tailgate with a kit, and it should make it 100% waterproof…hope that helps!

    There was actually a fairly comical thread on this topic a while back. I did the same thing and used an angle grinder to cut a slot across the center. I then used a very large flat head and just turned them out like screws. I too did it on two. It worked well enough I actually re-used them when re-installing.

    Okay for us who are going to be doing this install; what happened and how do we avoid messing up the bolt heads? Were you using the proper Torx bit to remove the bolts?
